Today is the 400th anniversary of the birth of Rembrandt van Rijn. In honor, I give you The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp (1632) which is probably my favorite Rembrandt painting.
An interesting post from Repository for Bottled Monsters gathers together a few links on art/exhibit censorship, like this opinion,
How appropriate, one of the some 120 cultivars of Parrot Tulip!
The pinks that I know of include "Fantasy", "Pink Panther", "Quasimodo", "Paradise"...
("Parrot" tulips are considered class 10, developed from late-flowering mutations crossed with class 3 "Triumph" tulips)
Thanks, I needed that.
No, it's not fair! You are not allowed to have tulips until the rest of us can have them, too, and that's not until May!
So pretty! Can't wait for spring.
